First Renew Sydney Shops are open for business in Leichhardt!

Renew Sydney are pleased to announced that the first three of what we hope will be many Renew Sydney spaces are open for business from Wednesday 18th of December. Shops 14, 15, and 10 in the Italian Forum have been given a new lease of life by local contemporary jeweller Mia O Designs, textiles designers Indelible and lingerie, lounge wear and gift ware designer Paris Floyd.

Renew Sydney received nearly 200 applications for the first spaces available but these three projects by talented local designers have been selected for both the quality of their work and the fact that they are each a great fit to the first spaces we have available . Over coming months we aim to add many more great projects and many more locations into the mix of Renew Leichhardt initiatives.

Renew Leichhardt is supported by Leichhardt Municipal Council.

Renew Leichhardt Launched!

Renew Australia is pleased to announce the launch of our Sydney office and our first Sydney based project: Renew Leichhardt.

For the last few months we have been working with the team at Leichhardt Council to develop a plan for the area’s empty shop and office spaces. We’ve held two public meetings, we’ve met with property owners, we’ve worked to secure a few properties in Norton Street and in the Italian Forum and we are now ready to roll out the first phase of the Renew Sydney program!

We are very excited to be coming to Sydney and hope this is the first of many projects and opportunities in greater Sydney for Renew Australia!
